This week we are extending our geometry studies with the Grade 7’s looking at bisectors and the Grade 8’s studying the volume of cylinders.
The Grade 7 Assignment: Grade 7’s will complete all questions in assignment 8.3 on constructing perpendicular bisectors.
19.04.21 grade 7 – constructing perpendicular bisectors – 8.3-2bj78n8
The Grade 8 Assignment: Grade 8’s will complete questions 4 – 15 of assignment 4.8 “Volume of a Right Cylinder”
This week we are going into spatial math with the grade 7’s entering geometry starting with parallel and perpendicular lines. The Grade 8’s are working on more 3d geometry with.
The Grade 7 Assignment: Grade 7’s are working on assignment 8.1 and 8.2. On 8.1 they are to complete #’s
19.04.12 grade 7 – parallel and perpendicular lines – 8.1-8.2-18jxzej
The Grade 8 Assignment: Grade 8’s are working on 3d geometry. They will be completing #’s 4-15 in assignment 4.7.
19.04.15 grade 8 – surface area of right cylinder – 4.7-shwdlk
This week we are spiraling back to fractions. Grade 7’s are reviewing fractions, decimals and percents where Gr. 8s are dividing decimals. Whilst students are reviewing these past concepts we will also be doing interventions based on our current MRLC results to ensure students are growing past their “sticking points” in math.
Grade 7 Suggested Materials for Study: p. 120 review of Fractions, Decimals, and Percents. Complete all questions. Practice test on page 122.
19.04.08 grade 7 – unit review fractions decimals percents – p.120-10o50qu
Grade 8 Assignment: 3.5 “Dividing Whole Numbers and Fractions”. Complete questions 3-15.
19.04.08 – grade 8 dividing whole numbers and fraction – 3.5-1d8upnh
Today we are doing a review of BEDMAS (PEMDAS) with students. We played “Who Wants to be a Hundredaire” online to test and hone our skills.
